Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen is on his way back to full fitness.

The Netherlands international arrived at White Hart Lane in the summer of 2016 from AZ Alkmaar for £17m with a huge reputation after netting 27 goals in 34 Eredivisie appearances during the 2015/16 campaign.

However, he struggled to replicate such form during his debut season in England. Brought in to provide back-up as well as strong competition to Harry Kane, Janssen never quite settled under Mauricio Pochettino and mustered just six goals in 36 appearances across all competitions.

As a result, the 23-year-old was sent out on a season-long loan deal to Fenerbahce and quickly endeared himself to supporters by scoring what turned out to be the winner in the Istanbul derby against Besiktas back in September.

At that point he was showing signs of recapturing his AZ form and there were even reports that the Turkish Super Lig outfit were interested in signing him on a permanent basis in the summer.

However, Janssen has been out of action since late last year and his long-term future is still in question.

There was a positive sign for the striker as he posted an image via his official Twitter account of him running again outside with a caption which reads: "Great feeling!".

Turkish media outlet Fanatik reported earlier in the month that Fenerbahce are keen on extending the striker's stay at the club beyond the end of the season.

The report also states that the Istanbul giants have already informed Spurs that they are keen to renew his loan deal before pre-season starts, with manager Aykut Kocaman hoping to allow the striker a full summer of training.
